Very sad.

To be perfectly truthful I've just presumed that Hogan is destined for Freo since the moment we recruited him. Hopefully I'm wrong!

Hopefully Watts, Tyson, Nate Jones for starters.

Dawes is the only one I am confident we will see on the park any time soon of the trio we expected to be our star trio. As such it's hard to call him a bust. Clark as we all know is on the LTI, and Hogan...well, it's just 'us' - NSC strikes again! It's going to be another very long year.

I always thought Neitz was a superstar in the same way Chris Grant was - perhaps not competition-wide, but definitely in terms of our club, he absolutely was in my view. I thought that Clark could be the same, but alas it appears not. Nate Jones is in the same way Todd Viney was, just a heart and soul player. We haven't had an actual competition-wide superstar since Robbie. Depressing state of affairs.

i tipped the saints by 20, so sadly it was about what i was expecting. we had no forward line, and our default chf, fitzpatrick, was crocked from early on in the second. mcdonald couldn't run. dunn was hampered. nate jones kept getting smashed on the scone. we have far too many passengers: toumpas, byrnes, howe all far too soft.

watts went right out of the game and then came back into the game.

pedersen misses a dead set sitter running into an open goal. gws will do us like a dinner week after next. fitter, stronger, better all around.

god toumpas is so..... sl.....o........w..........

geary makes it 20 the diff again.

gotta get mcdonald off. he ain't right.

mcdonald gone forward, he can barely run.

dunstan is all class for them.

did michie just have his jaw broken? vince kicks one from outside 50. back to 14 the diff.

gwilt kicks a beauty from outside 50. far, far too easy. lead back out to 20.

agree with that chook. chip is showing all the signs of being 'just a player'. if nate jones was playing for a decent side he'd be an absolute star. he's just a bona fide gun.

lucky, we get away with one there - billings running into an open goal hits the post.

tyson pings one from just outside 50! great work by watts and nate jones to set up.

the quality of the football is so bad, but at least the intensity was up in the last 10 of that quarter. watts, toumpas, vince, trengove pretty unsighted in that quarter. i don't think we can run over the top of them as we simply don't look anything like quick enough. i'm still on the saints by 20, unfortunately. was hoping i'd be proved wrong, but it really doesn't look it.

the intensity has gone up but the quality of football is nothing short of atrocious. clearly the two worst sides in the comp.

no, we won't. howe finally gets involved, byrnes ends with it, goals.

they're nearly double our score. depressing.

riewoldt just completely pushed mcdonald out of the way there. 20 points the diff now. that's the final margin i tipped. really depressing.

yeah, i can't blame grimes for that turnover. frawley just completely fumbled it.

jones got absolutely cleaned up then. riewoldt boots them further ahead. depressing.
